Mali-T720

The ARM® Mali™-T720 GPU is the first offering in the Mid-Range GPU series which has its origins in the Midgard Architecture. It is an extremely area-efficient GPU designed specifically to bring high quality, energy efficient GPU Compute graphics features to the low- to mid- range Android™ mobile market. With a reduced die-area and simplified layout compared to the ARM Mali-T600 series, the ARM Mali-T720 GPU proposes a significantly decreased time-to-market without compromising on graphical performance.

The ARM Mali-T720 is a cost-optimized version of the ARM Mali-T600 family of GPUs designed to bring GPU Compute functionality to low- to mid-range Android smartphones, tablets and DTVs. The ARM Mali-T720 GPU increases energy efficiency by 150% and graphics performance by more than 50% over previous Mali cost-optimized, mid-range graphics processors.

Advancements to the Midgard family’s routing density, top-level layout and layering have significantly reduced the ARM Mali-T720 GPU’s die-area, implementation effort and cost, making it the ideal GPU for the fast-moving entry-level smartphone market where low-cost and time -to -market are essential for success. Targeted specifically at the Android market, the ARM Mali-T720 GPU simplifies implementation effort even further by offering optimized API support* for OpenGL® ES 3.1/3.0/2.0/1.0 and RenderScript.

It maintains compatibility with software development assets of the Midgard architecture including the trusted and stable ARM Mali GPU DDK, which is provided under the standard ARM commercial licence to all ARM Mali GPU customers.

ARM POP™ IP for the Mali-T720 will be made available to further decrease time to market and improve the dependability of your product. ARM POP IP is core-hardening acceleration technology for producing the best ARM processor implementations in the fastest time to market with the flexibility to optimize for maximum performance, lowest power, or any combination in between.

*Product is based on a published Khronos Specification, and is expected to pass the Khronos Conformance Testing Process. Current conformance status can be found at www.khronos.org/conformance.

ASTC offers a number of advantages over existing texture compression schemes by improving image quality, reducing memory bandwidth and thus energy use

Transaction Elimination

16x16 pixel block size

Transaction Elimination spots the identical pixel blocks between two consecutive render targets and performs a partial update to the frame buffer with the changed pixel blocks only, which reduces memory bandwidth and thus energy

Deploying graphics applications and content on Mali-T720 based systems is greatly eased by the wide range of 3rd party development tools, middleware and existing demonstration applications along with the wide availability of Mali-T720 development boards.

Available as either a single core or configurable multicore processor, the Cortex-A9 processor can scale across a wide variety of applications making it an ideal solution for designs requiring high performance in low power or thermally constrained cost-sensitive devices.

Available in a variety of different architectures ARM Standard Cell Libraries support a wide performance range for all types of SoC designs. Designers can choose between different libraries and optimize their designs for speed, power and/or area.

A broad portfolio of silicon-proven Interface IP designed to meet varying system architectures and standards. General Purpose I/O, Specialty I/O, High Speed DDR and Serial Interfaces are optimized to deliver high data throughput performance with low pin counts.
